Eh, In Texas, there wouldn't be any invesigation, also, most people would of used a gun. A Katana is a new twist to things though.

I am rather sure you don't need to use that imperative.

Nerds don't get laid by definition.

I don't think Texas has let a white man get jailed since 1971, though.

That's not my point. Here in Texas, if someone breaks into your home, you can legally kill them.

My assumption that Texas had at least a minimal degree of civilization was utterly crushed in one sentence.

Indeed, I think it includes as little killing as possible.

Every place is like that. My city has the highest violent crime rate for most of the coast, but I rarely have seen any of it because I live on a "nice street." I think if the majority is bad then the whole area can easily be referred to as such.

Some people want to have lots of children.

I hope you are aware that most people are, in fact, not killed by other people at all, but die by natural causes. Western countries, which have a far lower murder rate than most third world/developing countries (and Russia, hah) also have far lower population growth.

I believe the right to kill is essential as long as we can't do anything otherwise, for eg. I agree with capital punishment for murder.

violence itself is bad, but civilization is based on controlled violence-or the threat of it at least-, but violence nonetheless.

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say.

a) I say I think killing is essentially uncivilized.
b) That steak over there pointed out that might lead to overpopulation.
c) I point out that countries with low rates of murder and other killing have lower population growth than those with high. So he is empirically wrong.

That may be as it is (being a moral relativist, I think it is ridiculous that the state can just enforce its own morals upon people with violence, but that is as it is), and if that's the kind of society you want, okay.

But there is nothing very civilized about a society where we still kil eachother like we have always done, is it?

but why should it matter beyond the concern of survival?

capital punishment prevents more murders, hence my position.

states should enforce their morals, otherwise there'll be none. I mean what kind of morals exist without enforcement?

Aye, but capital punishment is murder. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, moreso, I don't actually give a shit because it hardly effects me. However, isn't it a little ironic that we punish violent crime with an equally violent crime?

He killed another man. With a sword. He can't just get off without some kind of punishment.
The man broke into his house. He had every legal right to defend himself and his property.

No he almost cut his hand off. But it still doesnt say that he was arrested. And if someone was arrested for killing a burglar you would that that would make it into the news report. ;)

Cutting off his hand was enough, he's not gonna be able to do much clinging to his arm, he could have called the police but instead chose to finish him off.

The way I read it, it sounded like he only killed him accidentally. He cut off the guys hand, and then on the finish of the swing, got the thief's neck, and killed him.

That's manslaughter at most.

Yes, but, there are no real witnesses other than him. All they have is what he says since the guy who broke in is dead. People will view it as, some guy tried to break in, the guy defended his property. That's what it will be seen as. Hell, if some body were to every break into my house and steal my stuff, stuff I bought with the money I worked for, trust me, I would make sure that guy leaves my house in a body bag. I live in Texas though, as stated before, so, it's actually legal for me to do that with out a need for a trial or even to be looked into.
